18. Model of GST
 SGST and CGST for intrastate transaction : In the GST system,
both Central and State taxes will be collected at the point of sale.
Both components (the Central and State GST) will be charged on
the manufacturing cost. This will benefit individuals as prices are
likely to come down. Lower prices will lead to more consumption,
thereby helping companies.
 IGST for Interstate transaction: ‘IGST Model’ will be in place
for taxation of inter State transaction of Goods and Services. The
scope of IGST Model is that center would levy IGST which would
be CGST plus SGST on all inter State transactions of taxable goods
and services with appropriate provision for consignment or stock
transfer of goods and services.

19. GST Set off Chain
Manufacturer
• Input Credit of Goods+ services
• After taking set off of Input credit, pay the Output Liability on value addition
Wholesaler
• Input Credit of Goods+ services from manufacturer
• After taking set off of Input credit, pay the Output Liability on value addition
Retailer
• Input Credit of Goods+ services from wholesaler
• After taking set off of Input credit, pay the Output Liability on value addition
Consumer • Ultimate Output Liability recovered from consumer

20. Functioning of GST
The illustration shown how GST will work.
VAT GST
Base Price 100 100
+ 12% Excise duty 12 NA
+12.5% VAT 14 NA
State GST NA 8
Centre GST NA 12
Total Tax Burden 26 20
Value Of Product to
Consumer
126 120

21. Taxable Person
 It will cover all types of person carrying on business activities, i.e.
manufacturer, job-worker, trader, importer, exporter, all types of service
providers, etc.
 If a company is having four branches in four different states, all the four
branches will be considered as TP (Taxable person) under each jurisdiction
of SGs.
 A dealer must get registered under CGST as it will make him entitle to claim
ITC of CGST thereby attracting buyers under B2B (Business to Business)
transactions.
 Importers have to register under both CGST and SGST as well.

22. GST on Export of Goods and
Services
 GST on export would be zero rated.
 Similar benefits may be given to Special Economic Zones (in
processing zones only).
 GST paid by Exporter on the procurement of goods and
services will be refunded.

23. Registration under GST
 Each taxpayer would be allotted a PAN linked taxpayer
identification number with a total of 13/15 digits.
 This would bring the GST PAN-linked system in line with
the prevailing PAN-based system for Income tax
facilitating data exchange and taxpayer compliance.
 The exact design would be worked out in consultation
with the Income-Tax Department.

24. Returns under GST
 The taxpayer would need to submit periodical returns to both
the Central GST authority and to the concerned State GST
authorities.
 ITC credit can also be verified on the basis of the returns filed
and revenues reconciled against Challan data from banks.
 Common standardized return for all taxes (with different
account heads for CGST, SGST, IGST) can come into picture.

25. Rate of Tax
 The combined GST rate is being discussed by government.
The rate is expected around 16 per cent.
After the total GST rate is arrived at, the States and the Centre
will decide on the CGST and SGST rates.
Currently, services are taxed at 12 per cent and the combined
charge indirect taxes on most goods are around 20 per cent.

26. Rate of GST in some Countries
Country Tax Rate
Australia 10%
France 19.60%
Canada 5%
Germany 19%
Singapore 7%
New Zealand 15%

27. Exemption of Goods and Services Tax
 Alcohol.
 Tobacco Products.
 Petroleum Products.

28. GST and Information Technology (IT)
Interface
 Based on the legal provisions and procedure for GST,
the content of work-flow software such as ACES
(Automated Central Excise & Service Tax) would
require review.
 On the IT front, there has been consensus that there
will be a common portal providing three core services
(registration, returns and payments).

29. Flaws of GST Model
 Major flaw of this model is , Local Dealers have to pay CGST in
addition to SGST.
 In Addition to this, CGST mainly represents the Excise/service tax
and SGST mainly represents the VAT portion but, because of ‘No
differentiation between Goods and Services’ service supply within
the state would attract SGST as GST is levied at each stage in the
supply chain and Assessee have to Pay CGST as well SGST.
 The issue which still needs to be resolved are, the revenue sharing
between States and Centre, and a framework for exemption,
thresholds and composition.
